Flinders University can boast an Ig Nobel prize! Professor Colin Raston has been honoured with the coveted award for inventing a device that can change the structure of proteins, famously demonstrated by uncooking an egg.
The feat of science that has “made people laugh, then made them think” has earned him and his team a “baby” Nobel, a prize almost as famous as its Swedish namesake.

Secondary school teacher Adam Wallace has spent three days at Flinders to discover what the University’s scientists are up to, and will take his insights back to Unley High School for the benefit of his students.
